I finally got to detail my car a little (change of pace) and some young kids were walking by and were eyeing my car. Then one guy comes up to me and says "Man, your ride is sick!" I wasn't sure if he was making fun of it or what. Then he gives me a thumbs up. When I went home I asked my teenager...

Got a call from someone who wanted their van detailed and we agreed on a date for me to pick it up. I got a ride from my son and when I saw the van I almost died. It had leaves/ branches and sap all over it. The keys were left on the console, when I opened the door the smell almost killed me...

I posted these last week but lost them due to the server going down. This was a labor of love, Yes, I got to drive it to my shop. Judging from the looks I was getting I must be one handsome dude!!!!!!!!!Gary

Here is one my better works of art. A picture is worth a thousand words. Gary

I got a call from a dealer that wanted me to do some work for him. It was close enough so I drive out there. MAN O MAN these cars were rough. nothing like what I'm used to. They were roughly 7 hour cars. When he told me he was paying $75 a car, I told him to stick with whoever he was using. I'd...

A few weeks ago my Ardex rep stopped and saw me slaving over some wheels, he went in his truck and got "wheel attack" an acid based cleaner. He sprayed it on one wheel and in 2 minutes it was clean as new. I couldn't believe it. So he left a sample with me. Yesterday I had a Mustang (1983) with...

When I got a call from somone asking if I could look at their car I said sure what service do you need? "MY car was egged" oh boy I thought to myself, remembering a while back seeing the damage eggs do to a finish. I asked how long it was on the car, they said about an hour before they noticed...

Attention pro's/ You are mising the boat if you are not selling products. I can't believe how much revenue is generated now by selling products. Think about this, chances are after you detail a vehicle they will be doing something to the car (tire dress/ QD/etc) why not sell it to them instead...

I decided to post this here because it represents a new marketing opportunity for us. if you never thought about aircraft, you should. Now that I did one, I plan on doing more, here is the story behind this one. Gary I detailed a Porsche 911 Turbo for a guy and when he picked it up and saw it...

Here is the top of the line Lotus, has a V8 and a solid 6 speed gear box. Ride is rigid, and somewhat uncomforable. The looks is sporty and it does turn some heads. Much more leg room than other exotics I drive. Maybe because of the long front trunk. This was a paint seal job. Gary

In the past whenever someone posted a response to my post I would get a notification via e mail. Latley that is not happening. any ideas? Gary

OK, we all know the difference between wax and synthetics, or do we? I'm not a chemist but I do know carnuaba comes from trees, which makes it a natural by-product. Synthetics are man made from chemicals. What I don't understand is the HUGE price difference amoung waxes. if they are basically...

I just found out today that I have a Hernia. That in itself is not the real problem, the recovery time is 6 weeks. which means I can;t lift or do any work for that time period. That includes detailing. Doctor said I can wait a few months (Thank God) so perhaps I can schedule it in the fall...

This would be a challenge don't you think? Gary

Is proud to announce a partnerhsip with the "Dent Guys" a paint less dent removal company and also the "Plastic Surgeons" a 3-m film installing company. I think this will be a good marriage, since I have many customers asking for these services. Gary
